| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Zeus facing left, rendered in bold relief with deeply carved features characteristic of Epeirote bronze coinage. The deity is depicted with a full beard and flowing hair bound by a laurel wreath, the locks falling in heavy, naturalistic strands behind the neck. The modelling of the face is robust, with strong brow and prominent chin, reflecting the vigorous die-cutting style typical of northwestern Greek mints of the late Hellenistic period. No legend appears on the obverse; the field is otherwise plain. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Epeiros as a kingdom effectively ended in 167 BC when Roman forces under Lucius Aemilius Paullus sacked some 70 Epeirote communities in a single day, enslaving an estimated 150,000 people as punishment for the region's alignment with Perseus of Macedon. What followed was not a kingdom in any meaningful sense — a fragmented political entity limping along under Roman sufferance. Bronze issues attributed to "Kings of Epeiros" in this post-167 period reflect local attempts to maintain the apparatus of sovereignty without the substance of it.
